Rateable Values For Petrol Stations (EDM410)

Rateable Values For Petrol Stations

EDM number 410 in 2009-10, proposed by Timothy Farron on 09/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Service industries and Taxation.

That this House notes with concern the recent notification received from the Valuation Office concerning the dramatic rise in the rateable values applied to petrol stations in rural areas; recognises that the average increase for petrol stations in South Lakeland has been as high as 56 per cent.; expresses concern at the disproportionate effect this will have in rural areas where the car is a necessity and not a luxury and where petrol stations often provide the only commercial outlet for many miles; and calls on the Government to introduce concessionary rates for rural petrol stations to ensure we continue to have a viable and thriving rural economy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
